Of course, it does XD It was an ID Cooling IS-60, now replaced with Be Quiet! Shadow Rock LP.

Thanks everybody, I decided to buy Gigabyte A520I AC, should suit my needs well. Regarding clearance - I wonder if the CPU cooler doesn't interfere with the memory (on current mATX, it is installed into slots 2 and 4, and the one in slot 2 is very close to the cooler). I only will start...

Well, how cool is that!

So many answers so soon! Thank you guys. Okay, there is something to discuss. Biggest XMP clock of my current RAM is 3200MHz, so 3600MHz would be a significant overclock for it. I'm eager to try it! In the worst case, I just replace the memory. I keep that in mind, thanks. But I don't have one...

So, recently I decided to rebuild my PC in a different case, for which a mini-ITX motherboard is required. Currently, I have ASRock B450M Pro4 with a 3500X onboard and 16 GB of RAM, with no overclocking other than XMP at 3200MHz. I'm building on a budget, but even then, there are too many...

Did I ever mentioned that I am a happy trackball user? Shortly before New Year I spontaneously bought a Logitech Cordless Optical Tackman, this is my 3d trackball, and it's cool! Like it much more then my previous Kensington Obit Scroll, but still not ideal for me - doesn't fit perfectly, I...

May I ask why are you making a custom case in the first place? The original one may be not the most small or nice, but it is quite unique.

Recently I've bought a used Creative mouse-keyboard set https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/show-your-new-toys-topic.86/post-231447 Now the keyboard turns to be laggy, although advertised as good condition: quite a few switches missclick and chatter. I decided to start with cleaning the...

So I recently bought these... Creative Sound BlasterX Vanguard K08 and Siege M04. I wanted to try a mechanical keyboard and started browsing a local bulletin boards to buy something cheap, just to try it out, but I stumbled upon this Creative set and almost immediately knew that I want it. I...

I know this ? And this I didn't now, seems logical to me. But it's impossible to limit temperature without touching the power limit, isn't it? I tried, MSI Afterburner doesn't let me. Aorus Engine is similar to MSI Afterburner, but doesn't include Riva Tuner Statistics Server, so - no in-game...

At 100% power limit and before throttling I've seen 1800 MHz, at 83°C - 1650-1700 MHz, at 80% power limit and 76°C - 1625-1675 MHz. I shall try it out, too. Never seen fan demand over 74%. Guys, what do you think about Aorus Engine? Since I've got Gigabyte and there is a proprietary software :)

That's exactly what I did. I've experimented with Nvidia Pendulum Demo with 1050 Ti: G-SyncRefresh rate, HzResult OFF75 / 60Frequent tearing ON75Occasional tearing ON60No tearing However, there still was occasional screen tearing while gaming (Mad Max). I suppose that Freesync, being a...

So I bought and installed Gigabyte low-profile 1650 GDDR6 (GV-N1656OC-4GL), and I must say - that's a win! I tested both old Zotac 1050 Ti and 1650 with Unigine Superposition (1080p high), both without overclock and stock fan curves, and 1650 demonstrated about 35% increase in points. The only...

By the way, regarding the power limit... I was recently thinking about power delivery system of a GPU. The GPU driver has algorithms to calculate it's clock based on available power limit and temperature, and the user may control the power limit of a GPU with the help of some software, right...

Hey, I'm going to buy a Gigabyte 1650 D6 GPU (seemingly the only one officially sold in Russia) before the end of this year. The GPU seems to be just fine for my purposes, I only wonder, if there are newer low-profile GPUs to be released anytime soon? Didn't find anything on that.
